The Destruction Within

Chapter 1: Lost In Time

The Battle of the Time Blades has ended, and we, the ninja, had been victorious once again, but something had changed. Nya and I were no longer as close as we once were and I don't know if I still loved Nya as I always had before. All the other ninja were going their own ways to do what we knew was the most important task, finding our lost Master, Master Wu. We were each going off on our own to a different part of ninjago to see if we could find Master Wu. I, of course, was given the task of checking out the surrounding villages of Ninjago, because even though it was slim that someone who got lost in time would be in a random village, everyone said that we couldn't leave any stone unturned. I believed that that was true, but I mean me? Of course it was me! I'm the blue ninja! No believes that I'm anything more than a joker. And I thought that maybe I had Nya to confide in and thought I was more than a joker, but that was no longer. I mean it had been a month at that point and I still hadn't heard anything from her! Like nothing at all! Ok enough rambling and back to the past. So far I had gone through four separate villages and there was only one more to go. I was hoping that I'd find Master Wu, or something useful in finding him.

"Hi, have you seen an old man, with a white beard, who likes to drink a lot of tea?" I asked the first villager that I met.

The usual response of, "wow you're the blue ninja!" and "no, sorry" greeted my ears and I continued my search.

I stayed in the village for three days searching everywhere, but just like all the rest, there was no sign of Master Wu. I had gone through all the villages and there was NOTHING! It was expected, but it still hurt to not have found any information at all. Before I headed out of town, I went to ask if there were any nearby settlements, where people might have known something, given that I had found nothing there. I walked up to the nearest villager and asked,

"Hey, are there any settlements near here that would be close enough to the village to maybe overhear any gossip or information?"

"There is only one settlement around here that could know anything and only one person lives there. She's an orphan and a little weird, if I'm being honest. It's down the road a little ways. Though a warning, those who go out there looking for her, say they see things that are so strange that most of us believe that they have gone crazy," said the villager.

"Thanks for the information, I'll make sure that I'm careful," I said.

I wondered what could be so strange that could make either villagers go crazy or so bizarre that others believed they were? Well being a ninja, I guessed that that was my job to see what all this fear is about, as well as seeing if she had any information on Wu. I set out on my new objective, getting more and more anxious the closer I got to the "crazy" house, but when I got there it looked like there was nothing amis. It was a pretty white and gray, single floor, house with plants surrounding it. There was a massive front entrance and a gated backyard. In fact there seemed to be music coming from the back of the house. Guessing that was where this "weird" girl was, I decided to scale the roof and check out how weird she really was. When I got to the top of the roof, I looked down at the backyard and was in shock. That was when I found out what was so wrong about her. And that was when I realized my life would be changed forever. 

Notes: This book is from a very long time ago but i decided to upload it here on my page for the mean time. I am uploading what I have and my plan is to continue it, given this story was never completed. Of course, I am also working on my other book so this one will have shorter chapters so I can hopefully do both at the same time. Hope you enjoy!😁
